Ayaan Roy, a 28-year-old software engineer...
Ayaan Roy, a 28-year-old software engineer and weekend cricket enthusiast, suffered a traumatic shoulder dislocation during a match six months ago. Despite initial rest and physiotherapy, his shoulder became increasingly unstable, dislocating during simple activities like reaching for a high shelf or turning in his sleep. The constant fear of another 'pop' made him anxious and withdrawn from the sport he loved. His orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Sharma, explained that Ayaan had a significant Bankart lesion, a tear in the labrum, and recommended arthroscopic shoulder reconstruction surgery to repair the damage and restore stability. The minimally invasive procedure went smoothly. The first two weeks of recovery in a sling were frustrating, but Ayaan diligently followed his structured physiotherapy plan. Six months post-surgery, after gradual strengthening, he has regained nearly full range of motion and has returned to playing cricket with a protective brace, free from the fear of dislocation. Emotionally, he transitioned from feeling vulnerable and limited by his own body to regaining his confidence and active identity.
